I think refraining from the use of 'comrade' suggests it's not satire. Otherwise, I would agree that it would be hard to know.

I can't tell whether or not you are kidding, but "comrade" is indeed gender-neutral and the Pravda recently recommended using it: https://english.pravda.ru/society/149390-ladies_and_gentleme...

If the bot replaced "man" with "comrade" it would be accused of being Russian propaganda.
